issues to keep in mind:
Taken alone, these simple tactics will have very little effect. Used alone
without any other dietary changes and an exercise plan, these strategies
won’t amount to much. However, as I mentioned, it’s often many minor
mistakes adding up to a lack of results for people. Taken in that context,
these are some simple mistakes that can be avoided, hopefully resulting
in an accumulated effect in a positive direction.

Simplicity + Consistency = Succes
The above is what I consider the basics of
the KISS approach to nutrition, supplements, and training. You will have to fill
in some of the blanks as it applies to you
specifically. If you are making steady predictable progress, great, stick to it. If you
are not making progress in your goals to
add muscle and or lose fat, however, then you may need to sit down and
seriously rethink your approach. Is there added complexity...
KISS and nutrition fat loss
Finally, we make it to nutrition.
Nutrition is a potentially complex topic, and just as importantly, it’s a highly emotional
topic for many. No place do I
find such clear examples of people adding complexity where
it’s not required. Again, there is a small segment of people that will benefit
from — and require — advanced nutritional approaches, such as pre–contest bodybuilders, pre–race track athletes,...
